When will we can use CUDA on Mac again?

As see, all the leading Render Engines they all require Nvidia CUDA which is a painful for 3D artists who using Mac. i know AMD has ProRender and Mac also has Metal but some software, some of their features are require CUDA. So for this reason, its very easy to make a decision to move to Window, right?

Per leroydouglas' second link, it isn't ever going to happen. This is actually a good thing because video acceleration is no longer tied to one proprietary version from one video hardware manufacturer.


Any and all video hardware makers can incorporate Metal, which uses a combination of OpenGL and OpenCL. Both have been around for a long time. And, being open source, requires no licensing fees to anyone.
